Select Works
Kissing the Monster Hunter
Kissing the Monster Hunter is a new chapbook about monster hunters, unseen monsters, perpetual dreamers, and the creatures (human and otherwise) who love them. The unmissable prose poems and micros in this collection thrust us into an alternate reality where hope, love, and intimacy, when gone unrecognized, become a mystical force to be reckoned with.
The House of Grana Padano
Two modern masters of the fabulist micro, Meg Pokrass and Jeff Friedman, stretch language like magicians who are deep into their most amazing acts, creating elusive personas who can mime love, hate, anger or sorrow.
Damn Sure Right
This debut collection of eighty-four tales is sure to “ruin your waking hours the way you’ll want them ruined” (Kyle Minor).
“The nuanced tonal complexity, which can go from the whimsical to a darker irony in the turn of a phrase, has been the signature feature of the work of Meg Pokrass.”
- Stuart Dybek
